Morbid Angel - Reunite With Steve Tucker, Yeung Out, David Vincent Denies Exit
A lot seems to be happening in the Morbid Angel camp and changes are afoot. A few hours ago, guitarist/keyboardist Trey Azagthoth announced that he was working on the next Morbid Angel record with bassist/vocalist Steve Tucker, who apparently is back in the band. Later on, drummer Tim "The Missile" Yeung released a statement announcing he is out of the band. Reports started flowing around that frontman David Vincent was also out of the band. However, Vincent has released a statement denying that he has left the band or was asked to leave.
Steve Tucker originally replaced Vincent in 1997.
Trey Azagthoth's message on the band's Facebook page: "Update! Trey is excited to announce that he and Steve Tucker are working together again for Morbid Angel and the next record will certainly be an amazingly sick world beater. Hi5!"
Through his publicist, Morbid Angel frontman, David Vincent, issued the following statement: "I am aware of Trey Azagthoth's announcement of a collaboration with Steve Tucker on new music. However, the inference that I have left Morbid Angel is incorrect. To be clear, I have not left Morbid Angel nor have I been asked to do so."
Drummer Tim Yeung confirmed to Blabbermouth that he's out of the band: "I've been waiting to break the news for a while about this. Now seems like the proper time to do so. As some of you know there have been some lineup changes with Morbid Angel. Unfortunately, due to financial differences, I will not be continuing with them. It has been a great five years being involved with Morbid Angel. I've met a ton of great people all over the world, played some amazing shows, and have a ton of great memories as well as stories. I wish Trey and Morbid Angel all the best. As for myself, I'm always up for the next opportunity life throws my way."
So, if Steve Tucker is back and David Vincent hasn't left the band, what gives? We will keep you posted on what is happening but for now, it is still unclear if the band will move on without David Vincent or if we will have two Morbid Angels in the future? Maybe it was all a misunderstanding.

The first time I heard Illvd DiviniVm, I thought someone at the store replaced my copy with a Combichrist remix album. I love Combichrist but I was hoping to hear Death Metal

This David Vincent / Steve Tucker story is like having Mangini behind the drums on some Dream Theater new album and Mike Portnoy producing it!

I hope this is not a sign of return to boring Tucker albums. The last one was a breath of fresh air, but knowing how people reacted to it it would not surprise me if Trey goes where the money is and releases another "safe" album for broader death metal audience.

Written by Dave FC on 17.06.2015 at 20:59 Nice one On a serious note, after an awful album, many years passed since their last good one and now all this big drama, I don't know what to expect next, but for sure nothing good. Hope I'm mistaken...
